Welcome to Walker Community!
Located in the Bradshaw Mountains, south of Prescott, AZ, Walker Community is an old mining district, filled with history. It’s named after Joseph Walker, mountain man, explorer, and guide. He led a party to this valley to discover gold in the summer of 1863.
Today, the valley is filled with rustic cabins and elegant homes. There’s a vibrant community of people here, with an active social calendar. Some live here full-time, while others have second homes here.
Everyone loves it here.

WFPA face masks
Got an email from WFPA. They have face masks now!
OK, it’s been about 5 months since we all were introduced to the Coronavirus. We were all hoping it would be long gone by now, but it’s not. Arizona is still considered a “hotspot”. Wearing masks is a part of our “normal” when going out in public, so why not do it in style?
On August 20th, I will be receiving a limited supply of embroidered “Walker WFPA” face masks. They are 3 layer cotton, adjustable, and machine washable. They come in black or silver/gray. […]
